Tech/Auburn Game Updates

[RougeDawg]

Paige earned a starting job tonight. Victorian needs to sit on the bench the rest of the year.

I agree! That was a nice surprise.

Just because they are related to the canine family doesn't make them dawgs.

I know, I just doing what I can to make me feel better.

First off, I am disappointed but......

No way Boise "destroys" Auburn. Auburn is a typical SEC team - very strong in the trenches and great speed. Boise beat a mediocre at best oregon.

Dooley can blame the AD that allowed MS State to trade away our game to Auburn so they could schedule jackson St. If we play Ms State we have a chance to win. No way we should have scheduled Auburn.

This was one of the two sure losses I saw this year with 4 toss-ups - Navy, Boise, Nevada and Fresno. Those are the games that will make or break our season and we should be able to compete. last year we one some close games against some not so good teams - that should have been an indicator that this season could go either way.

We still don't have an offense and our defense was overmatched tonight.


This game

You don't know football. Boise would have chewed up Auburn much the way we did Alabama back in the 90's except Boise's defense would have shut down Auburn's pathetic offense.

Understood. At least you don't have to put up with them all right now.

I agree! That was a nice surprise.

Yep and so was Matt Nelson. I know it doesn't mean much now, but Matt will win us a few games in years to come.

Auburn is a bad football team.

I think they will be this years Ole Miss. They are A LOT better than last year.

Well, you gave 'em some game in the first half. At least you weren't blanked by Notre Dame or suffered a RUTS by USC. Oh...Nevada and SJSU are hurting....

No way...we just got blown out by a team that might not win a single SEC East game.

NO WAY!!!!!!!!! The only SEC team that they will beat is MISSISSIPPI ST!

[Dwayne From Minden]

The things that I was afraid of came out tonight -

1) Malzan's offense rolling up yards

2) Stupid mistakes on our part

3) Having to score more than 20 pts to win

4) Auburn was Auburn

Like I said before we ever went into fall camp - give me 7-5 and a bowl birth and I have a Merry Christmas -

They probably could have beaten us worse than they did -

And those of ya'll who thought NAVY lost alot - guess again, the Dawgs better go to school this week on defense or it could be a Ricesque performance next week in Annapolis...

WE have got to get that game if we have any realistic shot at 7 wins

[detltu]

Navy looked good. I think it will be tough to get to 6 wins.

I don't. Don't kid yourself. Our ass whooping tonight was a direct result of our inability to tackle defensively, and our inability to move the ball offensively. Our beating had very little to do with how good Auburn is/will be. I saw Auburn make a TON of mistakes tonight. As bad as we played tonight, LSU would have probably beaten us 65-3.

This Auburn team will maybe...maybe win 3 games in the SEC this year. SEC teams won't miss wide open receivers all over the field, they won't miss open field tackles, they won't take poor angles on outside containment, they won't run a screen pass every other play, and they won't kick it short to give Auburn a short field with 27 seconds to go in the first half. I haven't seen Auburn's schedule to know their non-conference, but I am guessing 7 wins is the max for them with 4 or 5 also possible.

[mildawg]

Yep/ We looked like the team that has been practicing in shells during fall camp.
